The paper presents a comparative analysis of means expressing the modal meaning of supposition in English. Supposition represents epistemic modality, which is one of the most common modal meanings in world languages, including the English language, where it is realized through different means: modal verbs (modal auxiliaries), modal adverbs, reporting verbs and expressions, modal parenthetical expressions and lexical expressions of supposition. Modality is understood as a broad linguistic category which reflects complex interactions between the communicants, the propositional content which is conveyed in the utterance and reality.
